What is this thing? No Not that thing.

I had to clear my P0135 code this weekend and found this clip hanging by the Front (Bank One) O2 Sensor.
I couldnt see anywhere where it looked like it should be plugged into.

I have the same one hanging off my 2000 LX, was about to post the same thing!

Noticed the same on my car when I was under there doing a visual inspection between oil changed... literally nothing that it can plug into, so I was planning to make an identical post.

My car is a '00 LX -- driver's side, just hanging there.

maybe it plugs into the "Not that thing" thing

I have a 99 LX and that thing is there, not connected to any other thing.

Oh wow, I have the same dangling plug on my '00 LX and always tell myself "you should snap a pic and ask what it is on mud." Now I don't have to.

Mine is a 99LX. Surprised if it is not used why there is no cap on it.

Maybe its just a quick short fuse so when "regular" lexus owners hit a puddle too hard they have to take it in to the dealer for a "routine maintenance" inspection...

No, I've been in water up over my hood and have yet to notice even a hiccup in performance. I'm just gonna tell myself it's a factory locker control plug and all the wiring for an axle swap is already there
